What is the 2010 minimum wage for servers in Arizona?

Answer 1

There is no "minimum wage for servers" in Arizona. For tipped employees (such as servers), the employer MAY credit the wage by up to $3.00, but the wage plus tips must always be at least $6.90 per hour. This means that most servers earn $3.90 per hour, plus tips.

Answer 2

Mesa, Arizona -- Starting January 1st, 2009, Arizonans will see a new minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. This is up from the current $6.90. In 2006, Arizonans passed proposition 202, which calls for a yearly adjustment on the minimum wage based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Employees that earn tips will see their minimum wage go up to $4.25 an hour.

Answer 3

I am a server and an advocate for fair wages in Maricopa County, Arizona. this is my tenth year as a server in the restaurant industry of AZ. The "below minimum" wage for servers here is currently a whopping $4.25/hourly plus whatever tips we make from which we have to tip various coworkers due to their unfair wages. We get taxed on the remaining difference and whatever is left is ours to keep. We do more work than servers in other states who work for the same corporations do, and yet our milk costs the same. Our state sales tax just increased by .1% and we are now being charged for our children to attend a full day of kindergarten! Gas prices are soaring and the cost of living is increasing rapidly... yet our wage has changed from $2.13/hourly to only twice that over the last eight years!
